Thousands of University of California faculty members are pushing the system to reconsider its test free admissions policy, arguing that SAT and ACT scores could help identify students prepared for college-level work as concerns grow about grade inflation and AI use. Bloomberg News Education Policy Reporter Liam Knox explains to hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini that the university has launched a faculty-led review, but opponents argue standardized tests can reinforce socioeconomic disparities, and UC says no change will affect students applying for fall 2027 admission. -------- Watch Bloomberg Radio LIVE on YouTube Weekdays 7am-6pm ET Saturday & Sunday 7am-10am ET WATCH HERE: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/BloombergRadio Subscribe to our Podcasts: Bloomberg Daybreak: http://bit.ly/3DWYoAN Bloomberg Surveillance: http://bit.ly/3OPtReI Bloomberg Intelligence: http://bit.ly/3YrBfOi Balance of Power: http://bit.ly/3OO8eLC Bloomberg
